Preventing extra lines between paragraphs
The RichText editor automatically adds a space between paragraphs. When you want to transfer content from Google Docs to a RichText field in Contentful, it is helpful to format paragraphs in Google Docs so that they also automatically add a space between paragraphs. Formatting paragraphs properly in Google Docs before copying and pasting them into a RichText field in Contentful will ensure that you do not have an extra line break between paragraphs.

Example content with an extra line break between paragraphs
To automatically add a space between paragraphs in Google Docs:
In the Google Docs Menu, go to “Format” → “Paragraph styles” → “Borders and shading”

After enabling these settings, the content that you create will have spaces between the paragraphs automatically and be ready to be imported into Contentful.
